Jane Tyson Clement

    Jane Tyson Clementová hledala celoživotní pravdu a celistvost skrze své básně a povídky. Její dílo odráží neukojitelnou touhu po spravedlnosti a po zázracích a tajemstvích, jež se skrývají v přírodě. Clementová našla svůj domov a inspiraci v Bruderech, křesťanské komunitě, kde hledala smysl života a odpovědi na sociální nespravedlnost. Její psaní je hluboce zakořeněno v tomto hledání a v jejím spojení s přírodou.

The things that make life worth living she found in joy and grief, love and longing, and, most importantly, something to believe in. Her observation of the seasons of the soul and of the natural world have made her poems beloved to many readers, most recently jazz artist Becca Stevens. Clement's poetry has gained new life - and a new audience - as lyrics in the songs of this pioneering musician of another century"--
